Lisa Pisano, a 3L at Thomas Jefferson School of Law has been awarded the 2007 American Bankruptcy Institute Medal of Excellence for her outstanding coursework in her bankruptcy coursework.

“I was honored and flattered to be nominated,” said Pisano.  “Professor (Arnold) Rosenberg provided a lot of encouragement and he was very supportive.”

Pisano said she took the bankruptcy course on the advice of an attorney friend who said it would be very valuable to her professionally. “I didn’t think it’d like it, but it wound up being a very enjoyable pursuit,” she says. “I think ultimately that my enjoyment and success in the course will help me to be a better lawyer no matter what I do.”
